Cardo
III Superiore, Herculaneum, September 2015. Looking south from between VI.26/27,
on left, and Ins. VII.15 on right.

According
to Waldstein and Shoobridge, “a stream of similar fragments (to those found in
the Augusteum) seems to have been carried down the road (now partially
uncovered (written in 1908) leading to the sea.
This probably shows that the Augusteum was partially or wholly roofless, or
that the roof broke under the weight of the volcanic ejectamenta”.
